Comfortbilt HP22i Pellet Fireplace Insert review

The insert version of the HP22 pellet stove, with a finishing shroud, an ash vacuum and a remote included.

What the listing commits to

Up to 41,000 BTU per hour, 2,800 square feet in mild conditions, a 47 pound hopper and up to 18 hours of burn time. Five power settings, a thermostat and auto ignition are included.

Against the freestanding HP22

The hopper falls from 55 to 47 pounds and the stated burn from 20 to 18 hours. In exchange you keep your floor space and use the fireplace you have.

Plan the install

It needs power at the fireplace and a pellet vent. A pellet stove stops without electricity, so read the manual on outages.
